About Dr. Saket Goel

Dr. Saket Goel is a Senior Consultant in General Surgery at Indraprastha Apollo Hospital, New Delhi, with more than 32 years of hands-on surgical experience. Over the course of his career, he has built a strong reputation in minimal access surgery, colorectal care, gastrointestinal surgery, and bariatric and metabolic surgery. Patients and families from across India and abroad have trusted him with some of their most important health decisions — and that trust has been earned one careful conversation at a time.

Dr. Goel holds an MBBS and a Master of Surgery (MS), and has gone on to earn fellowships in gastrointestinal endo-surgery (FIAGES), minimal access surgery (FMAS), and metabolic and bariatric surgery (FMBS). These credentials reflect not just academic achievement but a sustained commitment to staying at the forefront of surgical technique. He works comfortably with both laparoscopic and robotic approaches, choosing the method that best suits each individual patient rather than a one-size-fits-all protocol.

What many patients remark on first is how unhurried Dr. Goel feels during a consultation. He takes time to walk through every treatment option clearly, making sure patients and their families understand what to expect before, during, and after surgery. He works closely with specialists in gastroenterology, radiology, pathology, nutrition, cardiology, and critical care — a truly collaborative model that means patients receive coordinated, comprehensive support under one roof.

For international patients considering treatment in India, Dr. Goel and the team at Indraprastha Apollo offer a reassuring combination of world-class infrastructure and genuinely personalised care. Whether you are coming for a complex hernia repair, a weight-loss procedure, or colorectal surgery, Gaf Healthcare can help you connect with Dr. Goel's team, plan your travel and stay, and navigate every step of the process from your home country.
